Spontaneous rotational Raman scattering spectroscopy is used to acquire the first ever high quality,
spatially-resolved measurements of the mean and root mean square (rms) temperature fluctuations in
turbulent, high-velocity heated jets. Raman spectra in air were obtained across a matrix of radial and axial
locations downstream from a 50 mm diameter nozzle operating from subsonic to supersonic conditions
over a wide range of temperatures and Mach numbers, in accordance with the Tanna matrix frequently
used in jet noise studies.

An IsoPlane 160 spectrograph and PIXIS camera were used by researchers in their presentation of the use Raman-based methodologies to distinguish cancer cells from normal blood cells. In a first approach, a microfluidic chip was developed to collect Raman spectra from optically trapped cells.

Researchers from CNRS—Ecole Polytechnique—Université Paris-Saclay, France and Centro de Laseres Pulsados, Parque Cientfico, Salamanca, Spain incorporated a Quad-RO x-ray camera in their experimental setup to present results on a single-pulse scheme that uses a plasma mirror to reflect the drive beam of a laser plasma accelerator and to make it collide with the highly-relativistic electrons in its wake.

Table-top Soft X-ray Microscopy with a Laser-induced Plasma Source Based on a Pulsed Gas-jet

Publication: Optics Express
A table-top soft x-ray microscope based on a long-term stable and nearly debris-free laser plasma from a pulsed
nitrogen gas jet target is presented. The microscope operates in the “water window” region at 2.88 nm wavelength. The
emitted soft x-ray radiation is focused by an ellipsoidal condenser mirror into the object plane and a sample is imaged using a Fresnel zone plate onto a CCD camera. The spatial resolution of the microscope is about 50 nm demonstrated for a Siemens star test pattern.
